Materia Medica

Rubus parviflorus flower (E. Yarnell)
Below are links to my monographs on medicinal plants, focusing on their modern and historical medicinal uses but also their botany, ecology, agronomy, and other related issues. I will continue to update this information over time and none of these monographs should ever be considered complete or exhaustive.

This information is intended only for students of healing professions and health care professionals, because these monographs assume you have background training in crucial basic sciences including physiology, pathology, toxicology, and pharmacology, that are necessary to understand this information. By accessing this information you warrant that you fit in one of these categories, and that you will hold the author harmless for any use or misuse of this material on your part.

It is very important that when you are first learning about botanical medicines that you do not try to learn everything at once. Instead, start with the basics, and build on this framework over time. Otherwise all the herbs start to fade into one another and become overwhelming, rather than slowly but surely coming into sharper and sharper focus as your knowledge network grows.

All this material is copyrighted. If you wish to share this material with other health care professionals, link to this page, but you may not copy or alter any of this information. No other use is permitted.
